(2)in financing capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment. Not later than September 1 annually, the Secretary shall make public a list of eligible recipients and subrecipients based on the most recent data available in the National Transit Database to calculate the 20 percent of eligible recipients and subrecipients with the highest percentage of asset vehicle miles for buses beyond the useful life benchmark established by the Federal Transit Administration. Funds allocated under section 5338(a)(2)(L)(ii) shall be— distributed to— designated recipients in an urbanized area with a population of more than 200,000 made eligible by paragraph (1); and States based on subrecipients made eligible by paragraph

The Secretary shall— calculate the percentage of funds under section 5338(a)(2)(L)(ii) to allocate to rural subrecipients by dividing— the asset vehicle miles for buses beyond the useful life benchmark (established by the Federal Transit Administration) of the rural subrecipients described in paragraph (2); by the total asset vehicle miles for buses beyond such benchmark of all eligible recipients and subrecipients described in paragraph (2); and prior to the allocation described in paragraph (3)(B), apportion to each State the amount of the total rural allocation calculated under subparagraph
(A)attributable to such State based the proportion that— the asset vehicle miles for buses beyond the useful life benchmark (established by the Federal Transit Administration) for rural subrecipients described in paragraph
(2)in such State; bears to the total asset vehicle miles described in subparagraph (A)(i). Paragraphs (3), (7), and
(8)of subsection
(a)shall apply to eligible recipients and subrecipients described in paragraph
(2)of a grant under this subsection. No eligible recipient or subrecipient outside the top 5 percent of asset vehicle miles for buses beyond the useful life benchmark established by the Federal Transit Administration may receive a grant in both fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2023. The Secretary shall require— States to expend, to the benefit of the subrecipients eligible under paragraph (2), the apportioned funds attributed to such subrecipients; and designated recipients to provide the allocated funds to the recipients eligible under paragraph
